All of us want our church to have impact on the community and our community to have greater access to worship and the Traditional Anglican way. We depend on our vestries to drive the wagon that ensures that proper planning and resources are available to support the annual plan established at the Annual Parish Meetings. The problem with planning is that it quickly can lose the interest of the members of the parish. It is easy to fall back into our old ways, thinking that the Sunday Worship Service is all we need to bring them to Christ and eventually membership in the Church. Or if we have a young electrifying priest that will lead the way all will be well. It would be nice if it was that easy. But, we all know it is not. So what does it take? What kind of investment of time and resources does it take to really make things happen? What will cause the kind of renewal for which we all hope and pray? The business metric used to determine the effort and cost to sell a particular item of merchandise, as a rule of thumb, is to measure how many times their product gets the attention of a potential buyer.

  • Anglican Worship and Sacramental Theology 1
    The Beauty of Holiness: Anglican Worship and Sacramental Theology 1 THE CONGRESS OF TRADITIONAL ANGLICANS June 1–4, 2011 - Victoria, BC, Canada An Address by The Reverend Canon Kenneth Gunn-Walberg, Ph.D. Rector of St. Mary’s, Wilmington, Delaware After Morning Prayer Friday in Ascensiontide, June 3, 2011 THE BEAUTY OF HOLINESS: ANGLICAN WORSHIP AND SACRAMENTAL THEOLOGY When I was approached by Fr. Sinclair to make this presentation, he suggested that the conceptual framework of the lectures would be that they be positive presentations of traditional Anglican principles from both a biblical and historical perspective and in the light of the contemporary issues in contrast to traditional Anglicanism, especially as expressed in the Affirmation of St. Louis and in the 39 Articles. The rubrics attached to this paper were that Anglican worship should be examined in the light of contemporary liturgies, the Roman Rite, and the proposed revision of the Book of Common Prayer to bring it in line with Roman views. This perforce is a rather tall order; so let us begin. The late Pulitzer Prize winning poet W.H. Auden stated that the Episcopal Church “seems to have gone stark raving mad…And why? The Roman Catholics have had to start from scratch, and as any of them with a feeling for language will admit, they have made a cacophonous horror of the mass. Whereas we had the extraordinary good fortune in that our Prayer Book was composed at exactly the right historical moment. The English language had become more or less what it is today…but the ecclesiastics of the 16 th century still professed a feeling for the ritual and ceremonies which today we have almost entirely lost.” 1 While one might quibble somewhat with what he said, he certainly would have been more indignant had he witnessed me little more than a decade after his death celebrating the Eucharist before the Dean and Canons of St.

The parishes and missions of our Diocese are open to all who seek the comfort of the Holy Sacraments, the guidance of Scripture and God’s companionship and love. We are sometimes accused of being stuck in the past. However, the greater danger for Christians today is an uncritical acceptance of new teachings and practices. Because “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8), the faith of the past is the hope of the future. As God said through the prophet Jeremiah “Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where [is] the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls” (Jeremiah 6:16) Why not join us as we walk that ancient path together..

  • Statement on Church Unity
    Diocesan Office, St Nicholas House, 42-48 High Street, Lydd, Kent TN29 9AN Tel & Fax: 01797 321704 Email: [email protected] SSStStttatementatement on Church Unity The following statement was adopted as official policy by the College of Bishops of the Original Province of the Anglican Catholic Church, meeting on the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul, Jan. 25, 1995, at St. Stephen's Church, Athens, Georgia. Preamble: The Gospel Imperative The Church of Jesus Christ is “One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic.” Whilst on earth its unity, holiness, catholicity and apostolicity are imperfect, all ecclesiastical jurisdictions within the Apostolic Tradition acknowledge the Gospel imperative towards unity which springs from our Lord's High Priestly Prayer recorded in St. John's Gospel, in particular: “I do not pray for these only, but also for those who believe in me through their word, that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. The glory which thou hast given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them, and thou in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them even as thou hast loved me.” (John 17:20-23). The bishops of the Anglican Catholic Church and its related jurisdictions (namely the Province of Christ the King and the United Episcopal Church of North America) from time to time receive comments from persons within or beyond our communion who point to the scandalous multiplicity of some 20 or more recently founded bodies, especially in the United States but also in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and India, which claim to be “Continuing Anglican” Churches.

  • The Continuum and Its Problems 1
    The Continuum and Its Problems 1 THE CONTINUUM AND ITS PROBLEMS A Paper Delivered By Wallace Spaulding To The Fellowship of Concerned Churchmen September 2009 I. Introduction There were three major traditionalist/conservative reactions to the 1976 General Convention of The Episcopal Church (TEC)* in Minneapolis, or, more specifically, to its approval of women priests and bishops and of the first reading of a new Prayer Book (a more radical break with its predecessors than in past such cases). The first was to go to Rome, the second was to stay within TEC and fight these new innovations from there, and the third was to leave and form a new and more orthodox “continuing” body. These three approaches are still being used and thus are relevant today. Those of the Roman orientation had produced a Pro-Diocese of St. Augustine of Canterbury by 1978, which was a non-starter. But they found some welcome via the Roman Church’s 1980 Pastoral Provision, under which they founded six “Anglican Use” Roman Catholic parishes by 1983; there are nine now. The “stay within” crowd was found in the Evangelical Catholic Mission (ECM), which then became the Episcopal Synod of America (ESA), and then the (present-day) Forward in Faith, North America (FIF-NA). They continue to work within TEC but now more and more in the new Anglican Church in North America (ACNA), formed in 2008-09 in opposition to the homosexual agenda but still tolerating women priests (but not bishops) and the 1979 Prayer Book. Most of those leaving as a body following the ‘76 convention did so after a September 1977 Congress in St.

  • ABSTRACT Anglo-Catholics, and Specifically Those in the Anglican Catholic Church (ACC), a Continuing Or Traditionalist Anglican
    1 ABSTRACT Anglo-Catholics, and specifically those in the Anglican Catholic Church (ACC), a Continuing or Traditionalist Anglican Church, have asserted that the only legitimate doctrine of the Eucharistic Presence is a “realistic” one. A Biblically, historically, and doctrinally sensitive examination, however, of Anglican formularies (the Articles of Religion, the Ordinal, and the Book of Common Prayer–representing the doctrine, discipline, and worship of the Anglican Church) demonstrates that they do not teach this doctrine, that the Formularies were written purposely to exclude medieval “realistic” interpretations of the Presence, that the authentic Anglican doctrine of the Presence of Christ in the Lord’s Supper is one of “dynamic symbolism,” and that a “realistic” doctrine of Eucharist is a 19th century innovation and importation into the Anglican Church. The Anglo-Catholic adoption of “Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament” is used as a test case, criticized, and found severely wanting. A positive appreciation and evaluation of the classic Anglican doctrine (following Ridley, Cranmer, Jewel, Hooker, Jeremy Taylor, Cosin, the Nonjurors, and the Wesleys) and its attendant spirituality is given.. The baleful effects of an overly “realistic” view of the Sacrament as adopted by Anglo-Catholics are traced in the pseudo-historical apologetics of the ACC; its infelicitous effects on the ACC’s relations to other Continuing Anglican churches and to other non-Roman Catholic groups are examined. A conscious re-dedication of the ACC to its Reformation heritage and doctrines is necessary, and a new dedication to bettering pan-Anglican and ecumenical relationships is required.

Nejat-Niya Department of Religion, Central Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran Received: April 9, 2014 Accepted: June 15, 2014 ABSTRACT Anglican religion is one of the special religions of protestant branch and it is called Anglican group. But Anglican Church is the distance between catholic and protestant church. This religion is different among other Christians as the balance of its principles and marriage of priests and appointing women for Church authorities. According to Anglican, Catholic Church with its middle age principles deviated the legacy of main churches and Protestant church by rejecting some principles reduced its real dimensions. On one hand, they accepted seven principles of Catholic Church and kept the spiritual hierarchy of this church and on the other hand rejected the great position of Pop. This church introduced four written sources as spiritual and divine reference of Anglicans as: 1- Holly book, 2- Three catholic creeds (the Apostles' and Nicene creeds, the Athanasian Creed). 3- Thirty Nine articles (this is an important document in determining the beliefs of Anglican Church), 4- Book of Common Prayer. KEYWORDS: Anglican; Protestant; Church; Catholic; Priest, Medieval age; Creeds INTRODUCTION Today, after Catholic Church consisting of more than half of the Christians in the world, Protestant church with 30% Orthodox Church and followers consists of 15% Christianity community. Protestant is consisting of a lot of branches as the followings: Lutherism, Calvinism, Tsvynglyanysm, Aglican, Batsytysm, Pentecostal, Presbyterian Advntyst Conger, Gyshnalysm, Mtdysm, Avnjlykan Among the above branches, Anglican is of great importance and it is consistent with the cautious mood of English people and this church is also called catholic and protestant.

  • Traditional Anglican Church – History and Beliefs
    Traditional Anglican Church The Traditional Anglican Churchis a branch of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church instituted by Jesus Christ. The word 'Anglican' refers to our spiritual heritage and roots in the historic Church of England. Traders, merchants and soldiers seem to have brought the Christian Faith to Britain shortly after it became part of the Roman Empire in the middle of the First Century AD. Sixteen hundred years later, during what we call the Reformation, the Church of England emerged as a unique institution. It retained its 'Catholic' heritage enshrined in the Creeds, the decisions of the General Councils, its liturgy and sacraments, and in the threefold ministry of bishops, priests and deacons in Apostolic Succession. It 'reformed' itself by eliminating some nonessential accretions of the later medieval Church, by restoring much of the practice of the earliest Christians, and by insisting upon the authority of Holy Scripture as the rule and guide of Faith. Members of the Church of England came to North America in the 16th and 17th centuries. In many parts of British North America, the Church of England was the 'established' or official Church. After the American Revolution, American Anglicans established an autonomous branch of the Church, which became known as the Episcopal Church. In Canada, following Confederation in 1867, the Church of England in the Dominion of Canada was established, holding its first General Synod in 1893 (to be renamed the Anglican Church of Canada). During the last 25 or so years, both the Episcopal Church in the United States and the Anglican Church of Canada have abandoned most of the tradition of historic Anglican Faith and Practice.

Francis Lerow, Bishop Ordinary As I write this brief article I am already thinking about Palm Sunday. I guess it is my favorite Sunday of the year. Certainty this not to take away from the beauty of the Easter Vigil with all its magnificence and ritual. Nevertheless, I can’t tell you how many Palm Sundays I have celebrated over the years. I remember as a young child the excitement I felt on Palm Sunday. Growing up in Western New York you could pretty much guarantee that there would be some snow still huddled up around the church building, even in late April. I can still hear my Sunday school teacher telling me this story of Jesus riding on a mule or donkey into Jerusalem. I could relate… I had frequently taken a ride on a donkey or two. The neighbors had these stubborn animals all over the place. They always needed someone to lead them or they just wouldn’t move and they liked to kick you. So you had to watch were you were walking. And I can remember it wasn’t a very fun experience with that long backbone. I tried to imagine why a grown man would ride a donkey and I while I was growing up I never saw any adult man or woman riding one; now I know why.
